Protesters dressed as handmaids went to the State of the State address in Nebraska and just stood there in peaceful protest. Gov. Jim Pillen called them "libtards" and-- this is rich-- complained that they didn't show their faces. His amazing insight: "Americans have the right to protest, but here in our state, people show their faces when they debate serious issues."

Just not when zip tying kids to engage in human trafficking, I guess.

“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” [Portland mayor Keith] Wilson wrote. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”

Downtown Los Angeles today -- the biggest protest I've seen recently. People seemed more defiant than usual too. Lots of folks on the roofs of park buildings, climbing up traffic light poles, etc.

I don't know when I started getting weepy at protests but the beautiful people of this city coming together are so moving. Whose streets? OUR STREETS! gets my tears flowing every time. I love my fellow angelenos...

Oooh, stuff getting spicy down in downtown LA. They're going to start lobbing tear gas and use munitions/horses on people very soon, if not already.
